Earlier this year a number of homes in the LaFollette city limits were determined to be uninhabitable. Now the city is doing something about it.

According to Jim Mullens, public works director, work began last Monday on the demolition of approximately 25 structures in the area.

While Mullens' department is providing the manpower for the project the city council voted in favor of allowing the city to foot the bill for the rental of the excavator needed to take down the dilapidated houses.

After months of anticipation about who would replace the embattled Dr. Michael Martin as the next director of schools, the wait is finally over.

Donnie Poston was the first of the three candidates to be voted on.
